HISTOLOGICAL AND HISTOCHEMICAL RESEARCHES ON THE HEPATIC AND PANCREATIC TISSUES IN ANIMALS TREATED WITH ROENTGEN RAYS (in Italian)

The histological and histochemical changes induced in the liver and pancreas by experimental roentgen irradiation were studied. Four groups of animals were examined. Each animal received a variable dose of x rays (variable doses and variable numbers of administrations) on the abdomen. From the morphological standpoint it was observed that the hepatic and pancreatic lesions due to irradiation consists essentially in cloudy-vacuolar degenerative processes. Histochemical tests for enzymatic activities constantly revealed inhibition of ADN, whereas no marked variations of ARN occurred. The hypothesis is suggested that the hepatic and pancreatic changes are closely related with impairment of the nucleic acid metabolism. (auth)
